Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology, specifically to an organic compound, mixture, composition, organic light-emitting device, and display apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) typically consist of an anode, a cathode, and an organic functional layer between them. The organic material in the functional layer converts electrical energy into light energy, thus achieving organic electroluminescence. To improve the luminous efficiency and lifespan of OLEDs, the organic functional layer often comprises a multi-layered structure, with each layer containing different organic materials. Specifically, based on functional classification, organic functional layers generally include, but are not limited to, hole injection layers, hole transport layers, light-emitting layers, electron transport layers, and electron injection layers. This has enabled the development of numerous commercial electronic devices, leading to the recognition of the performance of OLEDs.
[0003] When an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) operates, a voltage is applied between the anode and cathode. The anode injects holes into the organic functional layer, and the cathode injects electrons into the organic functional layer. The injected holes and electrons meet to form excitons, which emit light when they radiatively transition back to the ground state. This process enables the OLED to emit light. However, over time and with exposure to different wavelengths of light, the OLED is exposed to high-energy ultraviolet light, which can continuously affect the organic layers. To address this issue, a capping layer with ultraviolet absorption properties is typically used on the OLED. Furthermore, the self-emission and wide viewing angle characteristics of the OLED's emissive layer can lead to deviations at different viewing angles because the refractive indices of the glass substrate, metal electrodes, and various organic materials in the multilayer structure do not match the refractive index of the emission wavelength generated by the emissive layer. Recently, adding a low-refractive-index capping layer above the cathode in combination with a high-refractive-index capping layer for optical optimization has been considered an effective method to improve light extraction efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in order to achieve more stable and efficient organic electroluminescent devices, it is urgent to develop capping materials that meet the above-mentioned ultraviolet absorption characteristics and low refractive index, so as to avoid aging of organic materials, improve light extraction efficiency, and thus improve device lifespan and luminous efficiency.

Taking the first electrode 120 as the anode and the second electrode 140 as the cathode as an example, a hole transport region is formed between the first electrode 120 and the light-emitting layer 134, and an electron transport region is formed between the second electrode 140 and the light-emitting layer 134; wherein, the space between the first electrode 120 and the light-emitting layer 134 may include at least one of the following: a hole injection layer 131, a hole transport layer 132, a light-emitting auxiliary layer 133, and an electron blocking layer, and the space between the second electrode 140 and the light-emitting layer 134 may include at least one of the following: a hole blocking layer, an electron transport layer 135, and an electron injection layer 136.
[0215] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The light-emitting functional layer 130 includes a hole injection layer 131, a hole transport layer 132, a light-emitting auxiliary layer 133, a light-emitting layer 134, an electron transport layer 135, and an electron injection layer 136.

[0216] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The cover layer 150 includes a first sub-cover layer 151 and a second sub-cover layer 152, wherein the second sub-cover layer 152 is located on the side of the first sub-cover layer 151 away from the second electrode 140; wherein the material of the first sub-cover layer 151 includes at least one organic compound as described above, and the refractive index of the first sub-cover layer 151 is less than the refractive index of the second sub-cover layer 152.
[0217] In this embodiment, the capping layer 150 is a double capping layer structure composed of a first sub-capping layer 151 with a low refractive index and a second sub-capping layer 152 with a high refractive index. For the dual-capping layer structure, after the photons emitted by the emitting layer 134 penetrate the metal cathode, they first pass through the low-refractive-index first sub-capping layer 151 to suppress plasmon coupling loss on the metal surface and release photons bound by the metal. The low-refractive-index first sub-capping layer 151 and the high-refractive-index second sub-capping layer 152 form a multi-level optical interface. The total internal reflection critical angle is widened by a stepped refractive index gradient, reducing the total internal reflection loss of the waveguide mode caused by the sudden change in the interface refractive index. At the same time, a secondary microcavity structure is constructed to recover the waveguide mode bound light and generate constructive interference to enhance the optical field. The dual high and low refractive index films work together to achieve broadband destructive interference anti-reflection, reduce Fresnel reflection loss at the interface between the top layer and the air, and improve light transmittance. The synergistic effect of the above multiple optical mechanisms can significantly reduce various types of optical losses inside the device, resulting in a significant improvement in the overall light extraction efficiency of the device. At the same time, the combined effect of the microcavity effect and interference selection effectively narrows the half-width at half-maximum of the emission spectrum, makes the color coordinates closer to the standard value, and effectively reduces the degree of color shift with changing viewing angle, thereby significantly improving color purity and display uniformity.
[0218] The first sub-coating layer 151 is formed by using an organic compound represented by general formula (1), which enables the first sub-coating to obtain a lower refractive index. When combined with the second sub-coating layer 152 with a high refractive index, it can significantly improve the overall light extraction efficiency of the coating layer 150.

[0222] In some embodiments, the second sub-capping layer 152 has a high refractive index, and the refractive index of the second sub-capping layer 152 for light in the wavelength region of 460 nm to 620 nm is greater than 1.90. Further, the refractive index of the second sub-capping layer 152 for light with a wavelength of 460 nm is greater than 2.00, and the refractive index of the second sub-capping layer 152 for light with a wavelength of 620 nm is greater than 1.90.
[0223] In some embodiments, the difference between the refractive index of the first sub-coating layer 151 and the refractive index of the second sub-coating layer 152 for light with a wavelength of 460 nm can be greater than or equal to 0.3, preferably greater than or equal to 0.4, and more preferably greater than or equal to 0.5, so as to reduce total internal reflection of light at the interface and improve light extraction efficiency.

[0230] The organic compounds and their preparation methods of this application are further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials used in the following embodiments are commercially available products.
[0231] (1) Synthesis of organic compounds: Example 1 The synthetic route for compound P-1 is as follows:
[0232] Reactant A (0.1 mol) and reactant B (0.2 mol) were weighed and placed in a clean three-necked flask, dissolved in acetic acid, and purged with nitrogen three times. The mixture was then refluxed at 100°C for 12 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. After natural cooling, the mixture was washed with water and separated. The organic phase was dried and then evaporated to dryness. Column chromatography was used to obtain compound P-1 with a yield of 90%. The atmospheric pressure solid probe (ASAP) mass spectrometry results for compound P-1 were: m / z [H + The elemental composition was 667. The theoretical values of elemental analysis by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) were C, 79.25; H, 6.95; N, 4.20; O, 9.60, while the measured values were C, 79.2; H, 7.0; N, 4.2; O, 9.6. This proves that the obtained product is compound P-1.
[0233] Examples 2-20 Following the preparation method of compound P-1 in Example 1, compounds P-2 to P-20 in Table 1 were prepared using the reactants shown in Table 1. In Table 1, "Serial Number" indicates the synthesis example number.
[0234] Table 1. Information on reactants and products in Examples 1-20
[0235] Comparative Example This application also provides Comparative Examples 1-4, the organic compounds in Comparative Examples 1-4 are designated as "REF01-REF04", and their chemical structural formulas are shown below:
[0236] (2) Refractive index test: The compound of this application was deposited onto single-crystal silicon by vacuum evaporation to form a 50 nm thick film. The single-crystal silicon was then placed on an ellipsometer sample stage with an incident angle of 70° and tested under atmospheric conditions. The refractive index (n) of the compound was obtained by fitting the ellipsometer data. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0237] Table 2 Refractive Index of Compounds
[0238] As shown in Table 2, the refractive indices of compounds P-1 to P-20 in the embodiments of this application are all below 1.60 in the 460 nm to 620 nm region, and are lower than the refractive indices of comparative compounds REF01 to REF04. The refractive index decreases slowly and has a small slope from blue to red light, which meets the low refractive index value required to ensure a high viewing angle in the visible light region. Due to their low refractive index and organic conjugation properties, when used as the first sub-capping layer material, the compounds of this application can not only improve current distribution and enhance luminous uniformity, but also act as optical transition and anti-reflection agents, effectively improving the light extraction efficiency of the light-emitting device through the microcavity effect. Furthermore, the refractive index differences across multiple layers can broaden the critical angle for total internal reflection, thereby effectively improving color shift when applying multi-angle display devices.

[0253] Fabrication of OLED-2 to OLED-20 devices: Referring to the fabrication method of OLED-1, the compounds synthesized in Examples 2 to 20 were used as materials for the first sub-capping layer 151 of the OLED devices, respectively, to prepare OLED-2 to OLED-20 devices. It can be understood that in the above-mentioned fabrication methods of OLED-1 to OLED-20 devices, except for the materials used in the first sub-capping layer 151, all other experimental conditions are the same.
[0254] Comparison of devices OLED-R1 to OLED-R6: The comparative devices OLED-R1 and OLED-R2 are similar in structure and fabrication method to OLED-1, except that they do not use a double-layer capping material, but only a single-layer capping layer. All other experimental conditions are the same. Specifically, the structure of the comparative device OLED-R1 is: ITO / HATCN (30 nm) / HT (60 nm) / Prime (10 nm) / BH:BD (2%, 25 nm) / ET:Liq (5:5, 30 nm) / Liq (1 nm) / Al (100 nm) / CPL01 (60 nm). The structure of the comparative device OLED-R2 is: ITO / HATCN (30 nm) / HT (60 nm) / Prime (10 nm) / BH:BD (2%, 25 nm) / ET:Liq (5:5, 30 nm) / Liq (1 nm) / Al (100 nm) / compound P-1 of this application (60 nm).
[0255] Comparative devices OLED-R3 to OLED-R6 were prepared using the same fabrication method as OLED-1, with comparative compounds REF01 to REF04 used as the first sub-capping layer 151 materials. It is understood that, apart from the different materials used in the first sub-capping layer 151, all other experimental conditions were identical in the fabrication methods of comparative devices OLED-R3 to OLED-R6.
[0256] The current-voltage (JV) characteristics of devices OLED-1 to OLED-20 and OLED-R1 to OLED-R6 were characterized, and important parameters such as BI value (BI = current efficiency / CIEy, unit cd / A / CIEy, is the industry standard performance index of blue OLED devices) were recorded, as shown in Table 3.
[0257] Table 3 BI values of organic light-emitting devices
[0258] The data in Table 3 show that, compared with the comparative device OLED-R1 which only has a high refractive index capping layer, the device using compounds P-1 to P-20 of this application as a dual capping layer with a low refractive index first sub-capping layer 151 and a high refractive index second sub-capping layer 152 has a BI value that is 19% to 35%.
[0259] Compared to the OLED-R2, a comparative device with only a low-refractive-index capping layer, the device using compounds P-1 to P-20 of this application as a dual-layer capping layer with a low-refractive-index first sub-capping layer 151 and a high-refractive-index second sub-capping layer 152 has a BI value that is 42% to 57%.
[0260] Compared with OLED-R3 to OLED-R6, which use dual-layer capping devices with comparative compounds REF01 to REF04, the devices using compounds P-1 to P-20 of this application as a low-refractive-index first sub-capping layer 151 and a high-refractive-index second sub-capping layer 152 have a BI value that is increased by 24% to 54%.
[0261] The BI value corresponds to the ratio of device current efficiency to chromaticity value. A higher BI value indicates that the organic light-emitting device 100 exhibits higher blue light purity (lower y chromaticity) at the same current efficiency, or better luminous efficiency at the same color purity. Therefore, devices using the compound of this application as a dual-layer capping layer (low refractive index first sub-capping layer 151 paired with high refractive index second sub-capping layer 152) exhibit better performance, significantly improving light extraction efficiency and current efficiency, which is beneficial for achieving wide color gamut, low power consumption, and high brightness display products.
[0262] The organic compounds in this application are fluorine-free and have relatively weak intermolecular forces, resulting in stronger adhesion to the electrode or organic material film interface and more stable interlayer stacking after film formation. Furthermore, the amide, aromatic, and heteroaromatic groups in the organic compounds of this application can introduce certain conjugated characteristics, possessing higher excited-state energy levels, not affecting the color of visible light, and exhibiting high thermal stability, making them high-performance low-refractive-index capping layer materials.
[0263] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
